HANS MIKOREY, OF SCI-I6NEBERG, NEAR BERLIN, GERMANY, ASSIGNOR TO THEFIRM OF MINIMAX CONSOLIDATED LIMITED, OF BERLIN, GERMANY.

PAINTING-MACHINE.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, HANS MIKOREY, civil engineer, and a subject'of theGerman Emperor, and a resident of 13 VVartburgstrasse, in the city ofSchoneberg, near Berlin, Kingdom of Prussia, and German Empire, haveinvented a certain new and useful Painting- Machine, of which thefollowing is a specification.

This invention has reference to a painting machine which can be moved onwheels, and provided with a hand operated air pump.

Upon the drawing the machine is illustrated by way of example.

Figure 1 is a side view of the machine; Fig. 2 is a plan view of thesame and Fig. 3 is a horizontal section through the container for thepainting liquid.

In the supporting frame a, the paint container b is exchangeablymounted. From this container the paint or coloring liquid is dischargedat the bottom through the faucet c to which a tubing not shown on thedrawing is connected at the end of which a sprayer or the like may beprovided. From the container 6 the painting liquid is ejected bypressure. Vith this end in view compressed air is introduced into thecontainer, this being done preferably in such a manner, that thecompressed air serves at the same time for agitating the paintingliquid. This is accomplished by allowing the air admission pipe d toreach down to the bottom of the container or near to the bottom, whereit terminates by a twirl-like branch 6. From this branch tube or tubescompressed air is discharged, it passes through the painting liquid,thereby stirring the same, and collects in the container 6 above thelevel of the liquid. Inasmuch as the container I) can be tightly closedby a cover or lid 72,, provided with safety valve f and gage pipe g, theair which is retained in the container under pressure, causes theejection of the paint through the faucet c, as soon as the latter isopened.

, For the production of the compressed air an air pump is is providedwhich is also mounted in the supporting frame a, and which is actuatedby the hand lever z and Specification of Letters Patent.

which is connected by a pipe m to the inner air pipe d of the container7).

The supporting frame a is movable, and for this purpose it is providedwith the wheel 12. This wheel a and the supports 0 constitute thesupporting points of the machine in the operation of the same. In orderto facilitate the movement of the machine, the hand lever i of the airpump which is journaled at 29 in the frame a, may be securely connectedto the supporting frame a by means of a grasping hook Q engaging wlthcross bars '1' on the hand lever i, the lever serving then as a vehiclepole. A. handle 8 provided on the frame a, facilitates the handling ofthe machine, when it is moved about.

What I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United Statesis 1. The combination, in a painting machine, of a closed paintcontainer provided with pressure fluid admitting means leading thepressure fluid to the bottom of said container and with liquiddischarging means arranged in the bottom of said container, with amovable supporting frame, in which the paint container is exchangeablymounted, and a compressing pump mounted in said supporting frame andconnected to the pres sure fluid admitting means of the paint container,substantially as described.

2. In a painting machine, the combination of a closed paint containerprovided with pressure fluid admitting means leading the pressure fiuidto the bottom of said container and with liquid discharging meansarranged in the bottom of said container, with a supporting framemovable on wheels and carrying the paint container and a compressingpump, the hand lever of which is mounted in the said frame, and graspinghooks mounted in the supporting frame and being able to bring the handlever of the pump in rigid connection with the supporting frame,substantially as set forth.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature.

HANS MIKOREY.
